I spent $30 for my last phone. I added $100 to it so it was good for a
year. It's looking like I'm going to have about $20 worth left when I
have to add the next $100 to keep it active.

I already have an mp3 player. 2 in fact. I rarely use them. But I have
them.

I have a camera, too. I use it every time I want to make sure it still
works. The wife uses her digital camera to take all of the pictures.

If/when I need portable video I guess I'll get around to getting
something for that, too. But I can't can't watch anything while I walk.
And most places I go I'm driving, so I can't watch much there either.

AT&T makes me itch. I'm glad I don't have to do business with them for
anything.

What are the supposed upsides that make that phone worth $500-600 plus
the cost of an expensive contract with AT&T?

Oh, that's right. I could surf the internet while I'm walking or
driving. MMM-MMM good! Just what I need: a small, fragile screen to
navigate around the internet on as I drive down the road at 55 or
higher.

No offence taken. But it's more than just a phone. It's also an iPod music
player, video player, it plays games, shows photos, it's a PDA, a web
browser and more. Add up how much it would cost to buy 5 or 6 individual
gadgets and it would be more than the cost of an iPhone. Not to mention
you'll have to carry half a dozen devices with you instead of just one
ultra-beautiful one.

Have you ever SEEN one in person? People who have feel differently.

Its not for me. But some people will like it.

I remember back in the early 50's when a device of this nature
was purely science fiction. I'm glad that you have a chance
to enjoy this kind of technology because when I was a kid
there was nothing..except what you could imagine.

How's the battery life? And... how much is that service contract again?

Exactly my point. I don't have an mp3 player, and really don't have any
desire for one. Ditto video player. Ditto game system. Ditto PDA. I don't
need a web browser except at home - have a laptop for trips. Have a
digital photo frame which is significantly larger - don't have a need for
a pocket version.

No, I have not seen one.

A phone is just a phone. Good luck making it earn that $500 back for
you.

Not everyone has needs as simple as yours.

That said, all I do with my phone is receive and make calls... it's a RAZR
(hot 2 years ago, a dinosaur now).

Not everyone feels the same way as you do, though. There are people who do
want this phone, and will enjoy using it and its other capabilities.
Don't knock it just because *you* don't like it. That's what anti-Linux
types do, to Linux.

I'm not knocking it. I'm pointing out that not everybody is overwhelmed
with what the iPhone does. Even fewer feel it's worth the price,
particularly with the lockin to one lousy provider.

I was fortunate in that my carrier was having a sale. The phone normally
sells for like $200, but they were doing it for $10 and because I know the
manager of the store, he was able to waive that. I signed a 3yr that
gives me free incoming calls and unlimited calls to the number of my
choice.

All in all, I pay less per month and get more usage.
